I am not a part of union leadership, just a regular line pilot. I don't know Tony personally beyond interaction at ALPA functions, but I have nothing against against him either. The one thing I can say about him from PERSONAL experience is that what he said prior to the extension and what accurately happened were very much in line with one another. I don't know if he's a good MEC chair or not, but my personal interaction shows him to be a pilot who actually cares about the pilot group and has a realistic outlook on what we can expect as a subcontractor. Just my personal opinion based on my experience. I've been wrong before, might be wrong again.
